#3All four of us are working today.
So we're not shopping but we can't really do nothing right now. After work tho - we fully commit to nothing.

I'm recalling Bush insisting we "keep shopping" after 9/11, on one hand a rejection of intimidation, on the other an economic necessity.

It’s the same as trying to tell everyone to stop buying gasoline for a day.

#9I actually found Black Friday to help me be less focused on consumerism during the rest of the year. When I want to buy something, I typically jot it down on my "thoughts for BF" list. Then, when everyone is having sales, I can dedicate time and through the yearly purchases. Also helps prevent impulse purchases as well.
